2,4,6,8,10 Workout
One of my favorite ways to switch up a usual weights routine is to play with reps; often pyramid-style workouts. It makes the workout fly by, and something about getting to the last round feels so triumphant. Here’s something fun I recently tried. “Fun.” As Tina says: “It doesn’t have to be ‘fun’ to be…

Gluten-Free Angel Food Cake Recipe
This gluten-free angel food cake is an excellent substitute for the original kind. Fluffy, light gluten-free angel food cake is perfect with coffee and would be excellent with some summer berries for dessert! Cooking at Home Again We’re on a roll with at-home dinners – two in a row! I *tried* to make a version…

What to Eat Before and After a Workout
The biggest conundrum about teaching multiple classes in a row: you want to and need to eat, but there’s no feeling like Zumba body-pumping with a food baby. It’s frightening, really. Trying to figure out pre- and post-workout fuel was something that took a while; learning how to best fuel my body is also something…

3/24: Meals and fitness for the week
Every time we get back from vacation, I’m ready for some home-cooked eats again. It’s fun to dine out, but I often feel like I could make the same things at home, with a much smaller toll on the ol’ wallet. When we got back from La Jolla, I was READY to start making some…

Meals and Fitness for the week
Hi from San Diego! We decided to take a little long weekend getaway. I’m so excited to be here with my little fam, surrounded by ocean, seals… oh, and gluten-free cupcakes. What more could a girl wish for? We got into La Jolla at 2:30am- Liv was WIDE AWAKE and cracking up like a little…

Things of lately
-The BEST hot yoga class- the kind that gets into your heart and soul. The kind where you do things that you didn’t know you could do. Also the kind where you last-minute save yourself from losing teeth when the instructor suggests bringing your head to the floor during crow pose. [Practicing with friends who…

Spring back
I wouldn’t even be able to articulate the joy in my heart when I looked at my phone this morning and saw that it was 8:42. Almost 9am!!! I heard Liv stir on the baby monitor, came downstairs to let the dogs out, put her milk in the warmer, started the coffee maker, and saw…

flash to Friday
It was a pretty great week. The house feels like it’s finally put back together- I can’t wait to show you pics of Liv’s new room- work was bueno (taught Barre, Tabata and Zumba in one day!), lots of time spent with lovebug, dates with friends, some Downton Abbey- can’t complain. It was a nice…

How to build the perfect salad
Lately, especially since we’re doing March Greens, I’ve received quite a few requests for a salad posts. To be totally honest, a lot of the salads I consume (and I eat a whole lotta ensalada) have no rhyme or reason whatsoever. Leftover black bean burger, swirl of ketchup, sweet potato fries and greens? Totally awesome,…

Sushi Saturday
We’re on a roll….. We’ve been on a huuuuuuge sushi kick lately. If we can’t decide where to go for dinner, sushi has become our default. We had a sitter last night, so the Pilot and I decided to hit up Ra, which is one of our favorite spots. Margaritas for both of us: (it…
